Present temptations that are quite beyond ner powers of resistance, lndrrd an oil "ital lop of,e provc for hcf m(8t expensive pitfall. There are dress patterns In cotton crepe, Rrass and handkerchief linen and various iulitles of pongee, beautifully embroid ered. The cotton crepe comes In white and he most delicious shade of pale gray-blue embroidered In white. As for the poncee only the wonderful art of the Japanese could conceive of the subtle variations of the natural pongee shades which are used In decorating this silken fabric. By the way, all the embroidery on these dress patterns Is done In Japan and th typical flower motifs of that flower wor nipping country are used exclusively. To return to the pongee patterns, the ilk Itself varies considerably In shade and though the embroidery la often done In Ilk which exactly matches. It Is some times worked In a shade Just a degree lighter or darker than 'the fabric with a beautiful eff-ct. The embroidered design I so arranged that It will run up In panels on the skirt with a motif for the front of Hie blouse and pieces for the collars and ruffs and such gowns range In price from V to $1S0, the latter being heavily em- shirt, others have extra fullness let Into the back seam from the waist down which makes them more comfortalc and graceful from a western point of view. The obi Is made exactly like the gown, and Is really more In the nature of a sash having heavy ailk fringe on each end. There are pretty kimono jackets In plenty with embroidered bodies and plain allk borders, but much more fascinating are the Chinese Jackets, made In Japan, to he sure, but thoroughly Chinese In style. One of these' Is shown In the sketch and two lovely models may be described. One white crepe embroidered Willi wis taria has a border of white satin thickly embroidered with small flowers. Thla bor der has a band of pink on either aide In which are little touches of gold. The second, of soft white satin, Is em broidered with sprays of chrysanthemums, while the blue border has an embroldored figure here and there and a delicate design In gold thread on Its edge. Bewitching little aults of payjamas tn white, pate blue or pink China silk or pon gee are shown. One suit Jn white has sprays of pink cherry blossoms embroid ered around the edge of the jacket, whlla another In light blue China silk has a band of white embroidered with pink roses down the front of the Jacket.' Magnificent mandarin rohs. the genuine thing, with no western modifications and only such alterations as are heeded to make them fit. are used for evening coats. One of a wonderful old gold brocade was ln crusted with Chinese embroideries In dull shades. THE END OF THE SEASON SALE! TTU)TTTTHrTr 7TO) TIT TTT YTTDTP A TTTT I MUGS AMD INOL EUM No sale of the year could have a better defined policy. A cear up after the season's business of all broken lines is a logical cause for PRICE CUTTING. We have assembled together our immense stock of all kinds of FURNITURE, CURTAINS, RUGS, LINOLEUMS, etc., and we are taking a loss on many items, but then it will serve our purpose; viz., to clear our stock of all dropped patterns and broken lines. Remember these sales occur only twice a year and the loss we take we feel is justi fiable. We can assure you a saving of from 20 to 50 per cent.

J There are also embroidered coat pat terns of a heavy ribbed natural silk, some thing like tussore. One of these of a rather dark shade wns embroidered In a ahade Just enough Mltu-ker to, be a pale brown, and the design was the pine branch. These, coats can be made up to wear with th'ln frocks, or the pattern can be matched to plain silk for a skirt If a suit Is desired. There are of course shirtwaist patterns without number In linen, pongee and taffeta embroidered with more or less elaboration. 1 When It comes to negligees only a Per sian poet could do them justice and an occidental must atand In helpless admira tion of the frothy crepea of wonderful de graded colors covered with exquisite needle painting;. Long and short kimonos there are such aa every one Is familiar with, of flowered and plain silks and cotton crepe; but Imag ine a kimono of pale gray crepe, over which straggles a white wistaria vine grow- . lng In Its natural fashion, a little heavily across the shoulders and sending out dell- 1 cate creepers to the furthest edge of the slcevea and hem of the skirt. The only touch of color tn this picture Is the soft green of the leaves and gray brown of the stems. Another exquisite combination la seen In a kimono of heavy aoft fabrlo which looks like an Ottoman silk. Of p&le pink. It Is embroidered with branches of cherry blossoms, the angular, bare brown branches, dotted with the pink and white flowers, spreading In the natural manner over the whole garment. A kimono of pale blue crepe has pink roaes growing rather boldly up from It a hem and a flight of swallows across the shoulders. Anot'ver haa storks flying here and there In the wide expanse of blue. There Is alao a kimono of that magnlfluent ahade of Japanese red embroidered In palest pink and another of very dull purple, both these of crepe. Last and most ex pensive of all but, as Is often the case, by no means the most beautiful, la a black aatin kimono heavily embroidered with gold which costs J30X . , These kimonos are- all made In Japn and, though many are cut Just as a Japan ese woman would wear them, with a scant These garments are also cut to pieces and the embroidered portions used In trim mings for tussore and shantung gowns. This vandalism la only for the recklessly extravagant. Other folks can buy beauti fully embroidered bands which answer the samo purpose. The Chinese woman's gown of rather gorgeous hues, which she wears wlih trousers. Is conjured Into an effective negli gee by being mounted on a crepe or moussellne underdrcss. Some women' also buy the every day coat of the well-to-do Chinese, which Is to be had made of heavy raw allk In handsome dull colors. This, with the sleeves shortened, makes an excel lent dressing Jacket. Besides these more Important things there are a number of toilet accessories which are very enticing. There are white crepe parasols with sprays of chrysan themums embroidered on them In white silk, pongee paraaola embroidered round the edge, and plain graaa linen parasols lined with red or green. The heavy white siik crepe shawls, won derfully embroidered and heavily fringed with white silk, which were the pride cf our grandmothers, are still to be bought at the oriental shop. A modern Innovation which la very charming Is a wide scarf of pals pink chiffon with the ends covered with elaborate Japanese embroidery in the same color. There are numbers of beautiful embroid ered belts In white and colors, which bring us to belt buckles, which leads to oriental Jewelry In general, and that Is a subject that deserves a whole page to Itself, such wonders there are In metal work. In gold and silver, both solid and filigree, auch primitive and yet harmonious combinations or seml-preclous stones. Whether these are cut and set In barbaric masslveness or falrlyllke delicacy they are equally charming, perhaps none more so than the twisted ropes of small beads of ooral, turquoise or pearl, each rope finished with a tassel.

The way Jn which women art toward this altered state of clad in as flimsy fashion as one would for an afternoon at home. Such styles of costuming quite suitable for home are the worst possible taste for downtown, and It la for this reason that I say the test of character i. shown.

Several weeks ago, as the Savannah IJne steamer City of Columbue was picking it. way carefully up the narrow channel of the Eavannah river, relatea the New York Tribune, the passengers on deck were sur prised to hear Captain Burg give three long blasts of the sleamer'a whistle.

Business ii bualness, and a girl should dress for It, and style, selected should neither be uncomfortably warm nor too plain. To the contrary, she may challenge attention of the right sort by her perfect understanding of what she should wear, how to wear it and a general air of smart ness. , The plainer a girl frock, herself for her office work the better, and any true fem inine know, that the amount of distinction which may be put Into a perfectly plain get up la astonishing. A girl dressed in a long sleeve, stiff-cuffed, tailor made white shirtwaist, with a dark skirt, linen collar or stock, trig belt and all well put together, her hair well done and her hand, and nail, neat, wearing no Jewelry except her sleeve links and pin in her stock, ha. fifty time, the tyle of a lingerie-wal.ted person with fussy and extreme coiffure, supposing herself decorated by pronounced glimpse, of pink and blue ribbons showing through her waist, with several pins, cheap or otherwise, stuck through the waist, an Imitation Jeweled belt and one or two buttons unfastened in the middle of her back. Neatness Is an essential at all times, but never more than In business dress. Women's Right to Din. The Hoffman house proprietors, of New Tork, will need the best legal talent they can command to defend the suit brought against them by Mrs. Harriet Btanton Blatch, backed by "The Self-Supporting Women'. Ueague." Mrs. Blatch i. of a militant spirit and of fighting atock. With another woman aha seated herself at a table In a public restaurant and was ejected for no other reason than that she was not accompanied by a man. She believes that women have a right to dine In a publlo eating house whether a man Is at hand to aid and abet them or not. Have innkeepers or restaurant proprietor, a right to discriminate against womankind- by a rule of thla character? asks the Philadelphia Press. Discussing the question, the Press saya: The plea Is that the rule Is necessary to keep out objec tionable women. But the rule doea not do this. An objectionable woman la ad mitted freely if .he ha. a male escort, while the daughter of Elizabeth Cady Btanton and the' thousands of respected, self-supporting women must go hungry un less they ran find a man to go with them. He is not asked to vouch for their re spectability; that he la willing to accom pany them la enough. "So great a favorite Is the female sex of the laws of England," wrote Sir Wil liam Blackstone 150 years ago. His later editors and commentators have been at the paina to show In fact notes that so far waa that complaisant remark from being true that exactly the reverse was the truth. The male waa then favored by the lawa, both civil and criminal, and It Is the glory of our own generation that thla baa been completely changed within fifty years, o that in most respects the sexes stand on an equality before the law. Mrs. Blatch'. Buit Is to determine whether the sexes have not equal right, in a publlo Inn. Why should an innkeper presume to Judge the character of hla guests? Their conduct alone concerns hlin. Who makes him a searcher of hearts? If he under takes to Judge of the hidden character, for which he has for the most part no qualifications, why should he not exercise that Judgment In regard to objectlonabl. men aa well as objectionable women? If a woman behave, soberly and di creetly; if there is nothing in the woman', dress or conduct that 1. objectionable and the Innkeeper know, nothing to disqualify hor except that she Is a woman, her ejec tion from a place of public entertainment Is an Intolerable wrong. The grievance complained of by Mr.. Blatch 1. an old one. We are glad it has been presented? In such form and under such circumstance, that will secure for It Judicial examina tion. It may he that the law can be so construed as to sanction thla gross and unjust discrimination, which compels honor, able women to go 'hungry If they cannot or do not procure mala escort, to the din ing room. If there 1. any legal sanction for this preposterous piece of injustice the law of Blackstone'. day haa not bean am flclently reformed. Leave, from FmbIob'. Notebook. pa"?
